It was the 1930s and Six Mile and Conant was like any street corner in Detroit… people walking to the market, neighbors helping neighbors, and friends meeting at the local gathering spot now known as Buddy’s. Buddy’s existed as a “blind pig,” skirting the State and Federal laws that governed the on-site sale and usage of alcohol. Booze was available there. The owner at the time was August “Gus” Guerra.

    Great waitress and the food was pretty good. I've had better Italian so can't give it 5 stars for that reason. Also they were out of a few ingredients for our drinks so we had to change to something else.

    Lelli’s did not disappoint. Haven’t been there in several years. If you want excellent filet plus all the sides, it’s worth the splurge, esp. for special occasions. Our server Latosha was excellent. Thanks for a lovely evening and delicious meal.

    What a nice place for a client appreciation meal! Monica was our server/waitress. Very attentive and polite. Ravioli appetizer, lamb chop and dover sole entrees were delicious. Terrific wine list! I have been a Birmingham resident for 36 years and it is nice to have this restaurant so close. to home.

    This place is a hidden gym! We just happen to hear about it on Facebook and thought we would try it! We went for brunch. It was nice and quiet. The service was phenomenal. Our waitress was literally, the best we’ve had in Michigan and I’m not exaggerating. I even told the owner that. The food was beautifully presented, and it was absolutely delicious We highly- highly recommend this restaurant
